This heritage listed limestone worker's cottage built in the late 1800s is a pure delight with peaceful cottage gardens, period charm and a spacious, light filled extension. Oozing with warmth and soul, the home is a little piece of history to be preserved and enjoyed for many years to come.
It is located just a short stroll to the Davies Ground coffee shop, Mulder Park playground and Lake Claremont, with its peaceful walking routes and surrounding parklands, plus it is conveniently close to Mt Claremont Primary School and Farmers' Market, Claremont Quarter, nearby private schools and within the Shenton College catchment.
The home is one of the rare remaining limestone cottages in Claremont that demonstrates a typical Victorian Georgian worker's cottage and the owners, while having significantly expanded and renovated it, have stayed true to its cottage charm and character.
There are three bedrooms and an open study area in the original part of the home and a modern laundry and bathroom and open plan kitchen, living/dining at the rear.
Bull nosed verandas at the front and back of the house are only two of several places on the property where you can escape for some time out.
The kitchen opens out to the covered back patio through double sliding doors, creating seamless connection for the living spaces and making this area ideal for entertaining.
Textured rendering to the whitewashed walls in the extension give a wonderful sense of character to the home and provides the perfect backdrop for artwork. Oversized vaulted ceilings in this area give a magnificent sense of space to the room and make it the perfect area for entertaining on a larger scale.
The owners have paid tribute to the charms of the era matching timber and brass light fittings in the extension and included tasteful fittings and finishes in the kitchen in keeping with the era of the home.
A timeless combination of travertine floor tiles, cabinetry and white wall tiling was chosen for the modern bathroom that is flooded with natural light. The inbuilt laundry space next to the bathroom features great storage for linen.
Pretty cottage gardens at the back of the property are a real feature. Terraced limestone retaining helps create a tranquil and private oasis with grassed areas, mop top trees, decades-old roses, a lemon tree, lavender hedges, passionfruit vine and Pepper Tree featuring a hanging chair all enticing you into its scented fold.
At the back of the property is a large double garage accessed via a right of way, plus a sleep out that could be easily converted into an artist's studio or teenager's games room.
